Power & Energy
With gas prices soaring, interest in alternative fuels has heightened, spurring the race forward for the next generation of energy sources. Idaho is front and center in this race.
Idaho is shaping up to be a testing ground for numerous renewable energy technologies. This is not surprising, considering the state boasts a variety of elements that make it a viable laboratory for the next step in power generation. Two of those elements include the Idaho National Laboratory being designated as the lead nuclear energy research facility and Idaho having a state ranking of 13th in the nation for its wind power development potential, with specific areas considered highly suitable for wind development projects.
Additionally, there is a proliferation of companies and university research institutions focused on additional areas such as fuel cells, low-power batteries, electric car technologies, kinetic energy capture, biomass, and new alternative fuels.
Inside the Directory Inside the Power & Energy directory are companies, agencies, and research institutions which are engaged in the research, refinement, conservation, or production of energy resources. This research includes electric power production (including renewable resource research in hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, and nuclear technologies), fuel research, biomass technologies, energy monitoring, and conservation technologies.
Examples of Power & Energy: Traditional power producers Bio-energy production Hydrogen production Advanced battery systems Advanced fossil energy systems and carbon sequestration Kinetic energy capture

Agricultural & Biological Sciences Innovation Business Directory
Innovation Business Directory—June 2008

Agricultural & Biological Sciences
One of Idaho’s oldest industries is merging with one of its newest to create a burgeoning new sector – the biosciences. This growing area in the state – a blend of agriculture and technology with a dose of healthcare – includes many sectors such as cancer research, new seed crop development, and electronics used in implantable medical devices.
Idaho’s strengths – which bridge across research institutions and industry – were identified as the following: infectious diseases in plants, animals, and humans; bio-products and bio-fuels; and environmental remediation/sustainability.
In 2004, the Idaho Biosciences Association was formed. Later that year, the IDeA Network for Biomedical Excellence was established. The state subsequently named the biosciences as one of its core competencies and called for a stronger focus in education, research, and economic development in this area.
In 2005, Idaho State University announced the establishment of a Biomedical Research Institute, and the state held its first-ever Idaho Pavilion at the worldwide Biotechnology Industry Organization convention.
In 2007, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture Marketing Development Division won the Award of Agricultural Marketing Excellence. Only one U.S. state or Canadian province is chosen each year. IDSA director Celia Gould stated, ―Idaho is setting the standard for other states.‖
Inside the Directory Inside the following Agriculture & Biological Sciences directory are companies, agencies, and research institutions dealing with the research, commercialization, and development of science and technologies. These groups are involved in agriculture, genetics, micro-biology, ecology, healthcare, food production, etc.
Examples of Idaho’s Agricultural & Biological Sciences: Genetics of plants, seeds, and animals Infectious disease in plants, animals, and humans Management of ecological systems (water and natural environments) Food safety technology Biomaterials: new materials and organisms derived from Idaho’s natural environment Bioinformatics: ways to process technical and scientific data efficiently
